Clumsy title I know.
Found this on WW2Talk.

a number of GIs were hanged in Europe for the relatively ordinary crimes of murder and rape. They are buried in Plot E at Oise-Aisne Cemetery in France, which is a secret and inaccessible plot behind the superintendent's quarters. So while the public can visit the immaculate white graves of Joyce Kilmer and his buddies from the Second Battle of the Marne in WW1 in Plots A through D, you need permission from the American Battle Monuments Commission to visit Plot E, where the dead lie under flat black tombstones...with no flag flying. Those are the wages of murder and rape
.

Anyone seen them and have photos?

This is the so-called 'Dishonored Plot'.

Some of the men were originally buried at Brookwood American Cemetery, Surrey and later moved to this location.
